Post ramatic stripe syndrome.

Funny title huh? Let's talk about dreams. Not the ones you dream at night, but the ones you dream about during the day. I'm 38 now and I think it a fair assesment to say that we never stop dreaming. Yes Sigmund Freud our dreams come from our ego and are shaped by our childhood, but why do we dream? We dream because it makes like worth living. We are given only one life, and we all have the desire for transcendence. Are dreams bad? Let me try to define by what I am refering to as a dream. A goal of unusual proportions, sometimes in proportion to our talent, sometimes not, and the ability to pursue and realize our potential in an exceptional way. Don't trample on my dreams, because some of them are coming true. God gives us our dreams, and for some he gives the talents and the opportunities to realize them. You have to dream first in order for any chance at your dreams coming true. Only some people are ready to realize them. There is no garantee that if you dream something that it will actually happen. God ordaines the lives of his children, but he doesn't promise them that everything will come true.

Obedience leads to blessing, and God chooses (I don't know how) to bless some people and other people differently, He is not a respecter of persons. We all have dreams, but some of us choose to live out not delusions, but our God ordained lives in a way that our dreams become our reality. It's not majic, it's virtue. Christian virtue is the key that unlocks our potential, despite our limitations and opens up a potential, ordained by God, of possibilities that can transform our lives, despite our failures. Nothing is for sure, the only thing that is garanteed is failure and the freedom to pursue and dream of the things that give us meaning in life.

On Christian Marriage. (Short)

On Christian Marriage. (Short) The modern co-habitation crisis has produced a lot of single moms and dads, and has fractured "family units" allowing other family members and relatives to take a bigger role in these "Separated families." There isn't a "one cause" why families have separated or divorced, it is a complicated issue, sometimes resulting in very hard emotions for Society to process. Things like the "millennial sexual revolution" have contributed to the widespread "non-committal" attitude, which in turn has given the traditional marriage the "black eye" it currently has and has turned many Christian men away from seeking a life partner. The more society devalues "traditional marriage" the more co-habitation you will see in all the other generations as well as the Millennials. This is Mike.

Why Christians must show Mutual Concern for One another.

Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. Psalm 142:4. Christians in the church should have mutual concern for one another, this is what it means to be part of the body of Christ, 1 Corinthians 12:25. It’s takes good pastoral leadership to foster this sense of concern, and where it is missing, individuals who are suffering in the church are overlooked and not supported. Every believer needs support and encouragement, but when this is missing, the church divides and loses it power and testimony. Christians live like the world, and become vulnerable to Satan’s attacks when nobody is supporting them outside the church. I used to belong to an evangelical church which had great leadership, and something called small groups. This church felt like a family and I had people who shared my Christian walk with me when I was not in the church building. I have been attending a different denomination that doesn’t hav...

Age of Brokenness.

We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...
